Remind me I must make a list of the things I can't forget imbedded deeply in my brain so deep my mouth denies the pain as "instinct" kicks the shudder-switch I am sideblinded by design -- the pounding peen of hammerhead haunting me with vagaries fleeting visuals I see like those ghosts in Disneyworld appearing in my twirling seat. Pop a top and crack a joke before I curse these fraught-drenched sheets twisted into questions marks an interrogatory poke: Remember what you dream keystroked, into my waking manuscript... I wrestle the indifference from the pillows I detest since they don't know or they just won't concede the subtle differences between my tears and sweat. |

I wish I could turn off that damn switch and get some sleep, too, Karen. You always know how to say it. Ida |

I've been neglecting to read what you've had to say for a bit... Just because I don't write is a poor excuse not to read. and this is something I'm glad to have read 100% Karenity |

You know, I'll buy your book. I will and the next one and the next one. I'll be your groupie. Write it and I'll be there, wallet in hand. A |

You go deep under the smoky blue clouds. You are a precious weaver, be it deeply blue or otherwise. Good thing you're addicted to your relief valve....... Take care Eric |
